Demographics

Denton is one of two colleges in Denton, with Texas Woman’s University being the other. Both schools are on the larger side: TWU has almost 14,000 enrolled students and UNT has nearly 36,000 students, making it one of the largest colleges in Texas. Even though there are just two schools here, their combined enrollment (50,000) is almost half of Denton’s population of 113,383. This makes Denton a bona fide college city, as you will undoubtedly meet a lot of students in the area, especially if you’re a UNT student looking around Denton for off campus housing.

Weather

The University of North Texas’s campus and Denton are located at the bottom of the infamous “Tornado Alley,” which runs through the Midwest and into part of Texas. However, tornadoes rarely hit Denton in full form. Heavy thunderstorms and flooding, on the other hand, are very common here, especially in the spring. Starting in June, the temperatures reach an average high of 90 degrees, and stay that high until September, when they drop to 85 degrees. The peak is July, the hottest month of the year with an average high of 94 degrees. The winters are mild, and are usually in the 40s and 50s, with lows dropping into the 30s or 20s on colder days.
